I organized the 2011 series and I won’t be doing it in 2012. If you decide you want to (and frankly, because of all the recent backbiting I don’t care if you do or not) let me know and I’ll be happy to spread the word.
It’s a good bit of work. Volunteers will drop out at the last minute or – and this happens very often – you’ll hear endless complaints from people who never volunteer to do anything. They’re always the ones who screech most loudly.
I mention it now because, first of all, it takes a while to get people enlisted, and second, and mostly, because of the recent onslaught of complaints leveled at Brady and the McGrathian ‘I don’t like the way they’re named and I think they should be named something else’. So, let’s see if the carpers decide to organize it for 2012 or if they just sit there with their hands up their noses. Either way, in the words of Kierkegaard, they will regret it. They will regret it if they do because they will be the recipients of complaints and they will regret it if they don’t because they’ll imagine all year that, naturally, they ‘could have done it better’.
Let’s see if McGrath or Gayle take the reins or let fly a host of reasons why they can’t. If they let the Carnival die, I won’t care. I’ll just do my own.
